This is Volume 1 of the 1899 first edition of Winston Churchill's River War and Reconquest of the Soudan. I apologize for the different tone of some pages; we had to carefully photograph even pages, then odd, and the ambient light in the room changed over the hours. I was too exhausted to re-do the project. Still, every page and map of the original is here. 

It took me a year to locate the books after I found that all of the ones offered online are of the second and third editions. I was astounded that such a work of genius has never been reprinted. Churchill's compassion for his enemies, informed criticism of senior officers, appreciation of military logistics, and command of history is beyond belief for a young man of 24 years.
